The invention relates to the in-depth learning field, and especially relates to a
Convolution Neural Network (CNN) structure improving method; the method comprises the following steps: a, using a fractional
max pooling (FMP) principle to change a maximum value
pooling layer in a conventional CNN structure into fractional orders, thus realizing sampling dimension reduction under a random dimension; b, ensuring a shallow
network structure, continuously widening the
network structure, combining the fractional order maximum value
pooling layer, and thus improving the
network performance. The method uses the fractional order maximum value
pooling principle to ensure the layer at a shallow level, can continuously widens the
network structure, thus preventing a deep network to have gradient vanish and weight failure phenomenon in a training process, and causing the CNN structure hard to
train. The method can realize equal or better performance with the
deep CNN structure, and uses less network parameters, thus providing obvious performance advantages.
